3 days and we will be 6 Years Old!

Samantha - a day old.

Tucker - a day old.

Tucker, Sam, Dad, adn Hunter - Twins were 8 days old.

Samantha and Tucker - 6 weeks old.

So hard to believe these two are going to be 6 years old in a couple of days. I can hardly recall the time when they were born. I look at these pictures and weep - for my babies were so tiny, so small and so little. They were amazing little troopers - and ever so healthy! I am so grateful to God for these two angel babies.

I will post on Friday pictures of them now at 6 years old!

Time does fly - for all you mom's with little tiny ones - hold on to every moment - it goes so quickly.

Happy Halloween and Trick or Treating

Sam - the Fairy Princess.

Hunter - Darth Vader!

Tucker - Larry the Cucumber.

Happy Halloween everyone.

And they are off to Trick or Treat! The weather was great - 62 degrees and barely a breeze.

Look at all the Loot!

The kids had a good time - not a lot of Trick or Treaters out this year. And, I think Hunter is done with Trick or Treating, or at least he said he was this year. We'll see when next year rolls around.

Hope everyone had a fun time on Halloween!

Pumpkin Carvings and Happy Halloween!

Tucker cleaning out the Pumpkin - Last year he did not want to do this. He thought it was Yucky!

This year, he asked to do it and all he said is "My hands dirty"! And, even with a smile!

Notice the Power Tool! Brad decided to get smarter this year with his carving. Hunter working on his Frankenstein design.

Sam is making sure Daddy is doing it right.

Tucker did not like the Noice of the Power Saw - see the hands over his ears. Shortly hereafter, he went to his room, closed the door and watched a movie.

This is one of the best parts of carving pumpkins.

ALL THE SEEDS! YUMMY!

Tucker and his Lion Pumpkin.

Hunter, Chillin with Mr. Frank!

Sammy with Ms. Kitty!

Happy Halloween!

Curly Que - I Love You!

Sam is so into her hair lately. I find her in front of the mirror often "fixing" her hair. Her new thing is to have it very curly. So we invested in some foam rollers, and she is wanting her hair rolled nightly. I have it down to about 1/2 hour, although it dosen't happen nightly. However, with this glow of happiness, how could I say no.

Back view

Ta-Da! What beautiful results. She loves it!! So adorable.


I wished my hair looked this great. With her birthday soon approaching, it is all about looking like a six year old. She told me just this morning that with her curly hair she looks like a big 6 year old, and when she turns 6 she can do this all by herself.

Curly Que - I love you!!

Touchdown!

Saturday was Hunter's last football game for the season. And...............he caught a pass and ran a 60 yard touchdown in the last few minutes of the game. I was so proud!! What an exciting thing for him. This will help his self-confidence so much! I still see him running with all he had, and there was a guy on his tail - I just kept saying, "run baby run". Yeah!!

Jerome High School Homecoming Parade

The parade has just begun.

Sam just saw us, and what you don't see is that there are 3 big horses right behind these guys. That stressed out Sam big time. She was a little scared the whole parade of the horses. (So was I, but I didn't tell her that)

She is so...............cute. And notice the curled hair. She had to have her hair "done" for this one! She loved this costume too!

Such a big girl!

After the parade, Sammy decided that she did not want to quit dance afterall. We will see when Tuesday rolls around and it is time to go to dance class.

Teacher Conferences and Report Cards

Hunter's Report card - Awesome! The Teacher had a great report to give on Hunter. He is doing really well.

Tucker's Report Card - I love his teacher. She is so "in-tune" to him and what will work the best for him. She is also so willing to adapt her teaching to him. We are so blessed and so grateful to have her and this school. On the majority of developments, he is right at grade level. Praise God for this!

Samantha's Report Card - Sam's teacher just raved about how well Sam is doing and what a "good, obedient, respectful" girl that she is in class. She is also excelling higher than her peers. Awesome Job, Miss Samantha.

So, in all.....This was a very fun field trip. The weather was beautiful - COLD, but beautiful. The kids had a great time.
